So great!

I've never starched my fabrics, but I want to try your recipe. Thank you!

Great info! Thanks!

Just to add to your wonderful recipe to save a few $$$ and besides I'm sure that many of you have already found that there are wonderful misting bottles available for free when you recycle a couple of name brand cleaning products...Mr Clean and Dawn Powerwash and if you use the one in the beautiful blue bottles it can make for a really pretty addition to our quilt rooms.

I’m going to try this!!!!! Thank!!!

Good deal, I'll have to try this.

Fabulous! Thanks for sharing. I am going to try it.

Thanks for sharing your recipe and experiences.

Thank you for the video 😊👍💕

I use lavender oil and it works pretty good for me

So trying this! Thank you, Fallon! I’ve used vodka before, but never one with corn starch.

Thanks for the tips and recipe. Saving this video for future reference. Best pre is pricey will be trying this.

I love making homemade products

I have been making mine 😊 that way too thz k you for sharing

I'm a brand new subscriber and what a great first video ! Back in the day I made my own clothing starch to soak all our jeans in. When I got through, they could stand up by themselves, no kidding. We were a big a rodeo family, so starched jeans with creases was a must. Lol I made my starch with a liquid starch that was in a blue jug type container. I've gotta investigate and see if all that was was cornstarch. 🤔. Great video ! 🌺 Update: just seen another reply that had the name of what I used, Stay Flo liquid starch. 😁

Good to know about the cornstarch method! Easy and inexpensive. I've seen the recipes for using vodka, but I just don't want to buy a bottle to use a small amount. It'd make more sense to just get the spray starch.

I was using this method, but wanted to try sta - flo from Walmart and just liked it better I use it in my mister bottle also ,It makes the fabric stiff also if you use less water,,plus its a large container that lasts along time and I dont have to boil anything,,I just found I liked it better and around 4 dallors, its not so expensive. But try both like I did to see what you like.

Self taught I got the liquid sta-flo from Walmart. I mix half 50/50 water/starch. It's pretty yukkyy on darker colors especially black and navy. It leaves a cloudy looking mess. It's definitely a quilt that needs to be washed before gifting. I was checking out best press but it's so expensive.

There ya go! No excuses for not pre starching fabric. Corn starch is cheap.

I have made mine for years using the sta-flo. I also add a few drops of essential oil to mine. No problems.

Thanks for this Fallon. I used to use Best Press or flatter. I don’t know what corn starch is! As for vodka, I don’t have any anyway! I know my dad would’ve said,what a waste of good Vodka! I’ve actually never had a problem with fabrics being too soft. I only use best press or flatter at the end anyway😍 ❤️🇦🇺

I'm team Vodka :) with a tiny bit of essential oil -- anything but lavender. I find the cornflour clumps too much for me, heating it with more water may solve that. Thanks Fallon, have a great day :)

Not sure if you know the answer to this but what if you don't plan to wash the quilt? I know that other DIY products using corn starch end up with insect infestations if they are "stored" for long periods of time. Thanks!

All corn is hybridized man made and GMO, even when it says on the label non GMO, your skin will soak up GMOs in your pours when you sweat, id highly suggests making starch in a pot with organic red skinned potatoes peeled

Yes, I have made the same mixture you make but found that it really stuck to and burnt on my iron. I see that wait for it to dry, "at little bit". What is a little bit?

Corn starch. I have other uses for that vodka.

Can I make it in the microwave? I like the stiffness you showed. Thank you so very much!!

I have a question, doesn’t the corn starch leave residue on your fabric, especially on dark fabrics? As it is a starch!? Thanks

I'm allergic to corn. Do you think potato starch or something else would work?

Thank you for this recipe, but will the starch rot with water over time? Or does boiling it with water prevent it from rotting? Because one time I mixed starch with water without boiling it, and it rotted after several days.

Do you feel like your ratio for your homemade starch is light, medium or heavy so that we know how to adjust your recipe?

Id like to find a diy for 505 spray..its expensive n my little budget cant afford it..anyone know of one? Thanks for sharing
